Welcome to my site! I am a free-lance artist, working in watercolour, ink and pastel. I specialise in botanical illustrations for the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Royal Horticultural Society and others, drawing new species for science journals. In 2011 I was awarded the Jill Smythies Medal for botanical illustration by the Linnean Society, London. I am now based in Dorset, and am involved in several local exhibitions. I am on the Committee of a popular annual art exhibition, and a member of the Institute of Analytical Plant Illustrators. With a colleague, I run courses for artists wishing to improve their knowledge of botany, and I tutor local art groups.
